What's one thing you'd never do? I'll start:

I'd never e-mail or twitter a photo of my genitals.

I'd never wear a thong on the beach.

You all are so old fashioned.

OK, modern girl. What beats photomailing your genitals and wearing a thong on the beach as something you'd never do?

I would never carve the text of the Constitution onto my stomach. Although I do love America.

Obviously not enough.

I'd never enter an eating contest. I'd choke to death. I just know it.

I'll never sky-dive or bungee jump.

I'll never drink my own (or anyone's) pee.

I would, in a pinch.

Convert to Mormonism.

I would never sky-dive or bungee jump either. I would also never pierce my genitals or nips.

Have sex with four women in one day.

Streak on a professional baseball diamond while a game is in progress.

Can I sell you on three women and a tranny?

Guy dressed as a woman or woman dressed as a guy?

Oh come on. Give it a try!

my fav comment of the day

Go to a club for the express purpose of cheering on some Gomer spinning records.

DJ as rock star? Gimme a fuckin' break...

I would never have anyone's name tattooed on my body. Ever.

It seems like every thing I've said I would never do...I've ended up doing.

I would never....participate in...wait...I would do that...umm...I would never chew bubble gum and stick it on the side of my plate.

I second that Scout!
I'd never eat celery unless forced to or go camping

I would never go spelunking.

I don’t like being underground in dark, drippy, spaces filled with creepy crawlies, standing water, and things you can’t see.

@ Clark- I agree!! I had this argument with a guy at work who was talking about seeing some Jersey Shore guy guest DJ at a bar! WTF?? He lined up & paid a huge cover!

Good point. I would never go spelunking again. I first discovered I was claustrophobic while in a cave; I cried like a baby and they had to take me right back out again.

That’s similar to what happened to me, Amber. I wasn’t spelunking exactly, but I was underground in a dark tunnel with standing water in the bottom. It was very slimy, very smelly, very dark and I got stuck in a really narrow part. I was being yelled at to keep going and I forced myself into this little crack- my coworker wound up dragging me out by the feet. Turns out, part of the tunnel had collapsed. I freak a little just thinking about it! I’m claustrophobic only in situations like this, and cells. I have a difficult time walking into a jail cell- which I have had to do for work. Not because I was being detained.

My experience wasn't smelly, but we were technically trespassing, and the hole we had to climb through to get into the cave was entirely too small for comfort. So, tight spaces coupled with the fear of both getting stuck and/or arrested did not bode well.

Never experienced a jail cell, but elevators and I are not friends.

So many of you have mentioned items where I just want to reply with "ditto." So, basically, ditto to the above.

This thread just makes me sing Rizzo's "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" song from Grease.

When I became a minister (Universal Life Church. Strictly a tax-evasion operation.) I promised myself that I would never do anything ministerly. But I married two people. Online. In a chat room.

Up until last night I would have said that I would never lead a full band live version of musical chairs for a violently competitive group of derby girls.
I would like to never do that again.

That sounds awesome. Dangerous, but awesome. At least you did it once in your life and lived to tell about it!

Were they on skates for it, Sarah?

You did what with whom? Really? That sounds like a blast, Sarah.

They were not on skates.
We played a fundraiser last night for one of the local teams. The advertised activities included a GIANT twister board - four times the normal size - and full contact musical chairs.
I played in the first round of twister and did ok. Second round my guitarist bodychecked me and sent me out. I decided I needed to maintain some of my dignity and didn't play again.
Partway through our set, one of the team members asked if we would be willing to be the music for musical chairs. I would have appreciated some warning. We did it, but it was rough.
They played two rounds, one of which ended with someone hoisting the last chair over head out of reach of her opponent, and the other looked like it ended with a concussion. 'twas fun but stressful.

Sarah, you make me realize what a sheltered life I lead.

:)

These are the good old days, Sarah. Soak it up.

I'd never throw back a bass big enough to fry up for supper.

I just got chosen as a finalist for a songwriting contest that culminates in a live competition at a music festival at a naturist colony. It's a great contest, so I'm stoked. But I also have to say I've never played before an entirely nude audience.
Before you ask: performers wear clothing.
The thing I wouldn't do? Perform a set without clothing.

Just pretend they all have their clothes on Sarah.

:)

Congrats, Sarah!

Jim's advice seems sound, or at least familiar.

The Brady Bunch.

Season 5, Episode 15, "The Driver's Seat"

Picture them in their underwear.

I figured he was just turning that advice around. Seems sound to me.

I have a friend who tells a story of performing at a women's music festival fifteen or twenty years ago and being invited to go swimming. There was a secluded lake, and everybody took off their clothes and jumped in, and she did the same. Afterward, she was drying off on a rock when some equally naked enthusiast came running up to her gushing "I LOVE YOUR MUSIC! I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAN!" Very awkward.
I guess it's good she learned that lesson pre-internet.

Climb a mountain. I read Into Thin Air. Uh, no thanks.

I read mountain climbing books to experience it vicariously, and that is more than enough for me.

My cousin and uncle climbed Kilmanjaro this spring and their stories did nothing to convince me it's a good thing to do. The view was amazing, and if either of them had needed to lose twenty pounds one could say that it was a good weight loss regiment, but the descriptions of the rickety wooden outhouses hanging over cliffs were enough to convince me never to even consider it.

There are plenty of short, safe mountains out there. I love climbing mountains.

Yes, the hiking type of mountain is great. The $10,000, sherpas and oxygen required type makes me nervous.

There are websites that have photos of the dead bodies still on Everest, because it's not practical to remove them. The percentage of climbers who attempt Everest and die of course fluctuates over the decades - I think it's now about 10%? Which just makes it astonishing to me that non-professional climbers, recreational climbers, with young kids do it. One of those dudes just died a couple months ago.

Which one did you climb lately?
